Who Benefits from Training in Linguistic Awareness in the First Grade, and What Components Show Training Effects?
Poskiparta, Elisa; Niemi, Pekka; Vauras, Marja
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v32 n5 p437-46,56 Sep-Oct 1999

When compared to controls on phonological awareness, listening comprehension, and WISC-R scores, the intervention group showed a more rapid building-up of phonological awareness, especially phoneme-blending ability, as well as superiority in word recognition, spelling, and listening comprehension.
